大家都承认,孔子最早提出了“正名”问题,但是对孔子“正名”的性质和意义历来是有歧义的。有的哲学史家或思想史家总认为,孔子的“正名”只具有政治、伦理方面的内容,不具有名辩(逻辑)方面的意义,或者认为孔子只提出了正名的要求,没有提出过其它名辩方面的思想。有人则认为,像“举一反三”、“能近取譬”这样通俗化的名言,只是常识范围的举 Everyone acknowledges that Confucius first proposed the issue of “rectification of names,” but the nature and significance of “rectification of names” has always been ambiguous.
